Life comes at you quick if you’re Michael Vick. The former Atlanta Falcons quarterback is coming back to the city to be involved in the game he loves.
Vick will be offensive coordinator in a new professional football team starting up in Atlanta, according to news reports. Vick, one of the most explosive and exciting players to ever play in the NFL, will join the staff of former Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress, according to a league press release.
The team will be in the new Alliance of American Football league and play at Georgia State Stadium, the old Turner Field, near downtown Atlanta. The city is the second one to have a head coach named. Former SEC coach Steve Spurrier has signed on to coach a team in Orlando, Florida.
Michael Vick will be the offensive coordinator for the new @TheAAF team in Atlanta, which will begin play next February. Former #Vikings head coach Brad Childress will be the head coach.
The league will begin play in February, with only a handful of teams in its inaugural season.
